ARCH+

The book analyzes the economic conditions of architecture, often overlooked in daily practice. It examines contracts, employment, business structures, profitability, and the industry's economic cycles, as well as work processes, authorship, labor rights, and digital outsourcing. The goal is to reveal the economic foundations of the profession and provide useful tools for both emerging and established architects. A rich variety of (for the most part) up-and-coming offices are presented that have developed new, forward-looking business models, organizational strategies, and resource concepts: these include ARGE c/o, Assemble, Chybik+Kristof, Ana Filipović, IFUB*, L’atelier—Nomadic Architecture Studio, and Space & Matter.
